In-Depth Information
close-by branches of this multibrand boutique that's a byword for chic, high-end fashion.
The original, worth a look if only for its gorgeous sculpture of a giant string of pearls
hanging in the midst of an atrium, is the women's store. The newer men's store is a two-
minute walk around the corner. Mainly exclusive niche designer brands from overseas are
stocked; if you need to ask the price you can't afford to shop here.

Korean golfers come when they want to look their most fashionable while teeing off on
the course (or in the driving range). The boutique has a space-age design to offset the col-
ourful, casual clothes and next door in the golf club section there's a free practice area
with experts on hand to show you how to perfect your stroke.
